Best Firewall (from all Angles?) with Avast AV Free...
« on: July 05, 2011, 10:01:02 PM »
I wonder if anyone's used different firewalls with Avast AV Free to check which one is the best?

Names I have in my mind are:

.Zone Alarm Free
.Outpost Security Suite Free
.Online Armor Free
.Comodo Free
.Windows 7 Built-in Firewall

Any views are welcome... thanks!

Best is subjective as it has to meet your needs and that will differ from user to user.

My favorite in an order is

Private Firewall
Online Armor
Comodo
Outpost

I would of gone with Online Armor as my top choice but it wasnt compatible with a program on my system, and ive never gotten Comodo to score high on the Leak Test from them even with suggested settings to pass it.

Outpost Seemed a bit heavier than i wanted as i game on my laptop and like to use as little of resources as possible.

Private firewall did well in all that i tested. Ram usage was less than others, and it got better scores than Comodo and Outpost did in Leak Tests.
